Forte #2: Drawing

It's been about a week or so since I've reported to you on how my finding my 'forte' is going.  And it's going pretty abysmally!

The newest thing I decided to embark upon was drawing.  Sounds easy but really isn't.  I haven't picked up a pencil (and I mean literally picked up a pencil) since the days of Art at GCSE.  So on the morning of the 7th February I marched down town and got myself a sketchbook and new set of sketching pencils (I felt that I might as well start a-fresh).

Here's the result:-





My First Drawing: Coffee Table

Second Drawing: Attempt to draw my favourite childhood toy from recollection. (Actually not too bad in my opinion apart from the rubbish foot...)

Third drawing: Vase

The Boy's Living Room

Conclusion - need a lot more work? And certainly not going to get Picasso spinning in his grave for any good reason any time soon...
However, despite this I have found a new hobby - really interested in trying to develop this now I've bought the tools.  So maybe you'll be seeing more (and steadily less) disastrous results in the future :)
